I live in Shirley!

It will need a bit of money throwing at it at some point in the future as there is some rust,I'm open to criticism/advice on any issues it may have!

Thats quiet nice, if anything I would remove the rear spoiler however because its so conservative you could get away with it in my eyes winkeye

It is Cirrus blue,which seems to be an over-looked colour! It can look very drab if it isnt looked after! I have a doner cab which is Cirrus blue too!

It's still running the original 2.7 Alpina engine!

As I said it's not as clean as it looks in the photos,and I would appreciate anybody who really knows about bodywork having a look over it and giving me advice on how to proceed?

Thanks again for all your comments!
